| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Several strong cold fronts brought reinforcing arctic air masses into east central Florida over a consecutive 12-day period. From January 2 through January 14, high temperatures did not exceed 60 degrees on nine to 12 days, with several days recording high temperatures only in the 40s. Several low maximum temperature records were set. During this period, low temperatures fell to or below 40 degrees for 12 consecutive mornings across nearly all of east central Florida. Six to nine mornings saw temperatures fall to 32 degrees or less. Many areas experienced low temperatures in the mid to upper 20s, with a few isolated, rural spots falling to near 20 degrees. Several record low temperature records were set. Frost occurred during several mornings. Long durations of temperatures in the 20s damaged or killed a considerable amount of vegetation, with agricultural crops, citrus, and ornamental flowers. Agricultural reports estimate a third of the Florida Winter fruit and vegetable production were lost, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in losses (state-wide). Also, winds remained near 10 mph on several nights, producing wind chill values in the teens and lower 20s.||Following a cold front on January 9, some sleet, snow and freezing rain mixed with a band of light rain from Kissimmee to Palm Bay northward. A slight accumulation of mixed precipitation occurred on vehicles, pool screen enclosures and plants. See separate Storm Data entry for additional details concerning this winter weather event.||A very rough cost estimate for (direct weather-related) freeze losses to fruit, vegetable and citrus crops across east-central Florida during January totaled near 14.5 million dollars. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | High temperatures did not exceed 60 degrees for 10 of 12 days between January 2 and 13 at the Melbourne International Airport. Two days experienced high temperatures only in the 40s (high temperature of 45 degrees on January 9). Daily low maximum temperature records were tied or broken on three days and 32 degrees or below on eight days. Four days experienced minimum temperatures in the mid to upper 20s, with the coldest temperature of 25 degrees on January 12. Four daily minimum temperature records were tied or broken. Similar temperatures occurred across the remainder of Brevard County, although minimum temperatures several degrees warmer on the barrier islands (a freeze occurred along the coast on at least one morning). Frost also occurred on many mornings. Long durations of freezing temperatures resulted in considerable plant damage. In addition, Winds near 10 mph occurred on several nights, producing wind chill temperatures in the teens and lower 20s.||A very rough cost estimate for (direct weather-related) freeze losses to fruit, vegetable and citrus crops across Brevard County during January totaled 0.87 million dollars. |
